Why should I donate shares?

Donating shares to charity is a tax-effective way to make a difference to a great cause. 

    • Donating shares charitably gives rise to neither a gain nor a loss for Capital Gains Tax (CGT) purposes.
    • If you are a UK taxpayer, you can claim income tax relief on the value of most listed stocks and securities when you donate them to a charity.

You can find more information about tax relief from the UK Government website or from ShareGift.

How to donate shares to charity

To make the process as simple as possible, we choose to work with ShareGift, an independent UK registered charity who specialise in releasing value from shareholdings of all different sizes and donate it to charity. ShareGift can accept donations of any size and do not charge a fee to either Place2Be or the donor. They donate to charities based on suggestions from their donors, so make sure you suggest Place2Be!

If you'd like find out more about donating shares to Place2Be, please contact the Philanthropy team by emailing philanthropy@place2be.org.uk.
